The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has expressed sadness over the death of the former Anambra State Governor, Chinwoke Mbadinuju.
Gists9ja reported that the former governor “passed on peacefully” on Tuesday morning at the National Hospital in Abuja after a brief illness at the age of 78.
In a series of tweets via his verified Twitter account on Tuesday, the LP flagbearer said the death of the former governor is certainly a painful loss to his immediate family and the state.
Obi stated that Mbadinuju, who was fondly called “Odera”, was a consummate administrator, academic, lawyer, and politician who served Anambra selflessly and diligently.
He prayed to God Almighty to grant him eternal rest in His Kingdom; and also grant the immediate family, Anambra state government, and citizens of the state the fortitude to bear his irreplaceable loss.
He wrote: “I received the sad news of the transition to glory of Late HE Dr. Chinwoke Mbadinuju (The former Governor of Anambra State), this evening. His passing is certainly a painful loss to his immediate family and Anambra State.
“Mbadinuju, who was fondly called “Odera”, was a consummate administrator, academic, lawyer, and politician who served Anambra selflessly and diligently.
“May God Almighty, who called him home grant him eternal rest in His Kingdom; and also grant the immediate family, Anambra state government, and all of us the fortitude to bear his irreplaceable loss.”
